MABUHAY! WELCOME!

This is the blogspot for Environmental Governance (version 2.0) of Prof. Ebinezer R. Florano Ph.D. of the University of the Philippines-National College of Public Administration and Governance. This site chronicles the random thoughts of Prof. Florano on Environmental Governance. Feel free to e-mail him at efloranoy@yahoo.com.

"Environmental Governance" - Definition

"Multi-level interactions (i.e., local, national, international/global) among, but not limited to, three main actors, i.e., state, market, and civil society, which interact with one another, whether in formal and informal ways; in formulating and implementing policies in response to environment-related demands and inputs from the society; bound by rules, procedures, processes, and widely-accepted behavior; for the purpose of attaining environmentally-sustainable development, a.k.a., "green growth."

Conceptualized by Ebinezer R. Florano in Florano (2008), "The Study of Environmental Governance: A Proposal for a Graduate Program in the Philippines." A conference paper read in the EROPA Seminar 2008 with the theme, "Governance in a Triptych: Environment, Migration, Peace and Order," held on 23-25 October 2008 at Traders Hotel in Pasay City, Philippines.

Clean Development Projects: Biogas Emission Reduction Project Feasibility Reports

(click to enlarge the table)
A class of Public Administration students of the University of the Philippines-National College of Public Administration and Governance wrote feasibility reports on biogas emission reduction projects for Rosales, Pangasinan, Capas, Tarlac, and Catmon, Malabon City. Their projects were patterned from the BERP of Pangea Green Energy Philippines located in Payatas, Quezon City. The Pangea BERP is a UNFCCC-registered Clean Development Mechanism project which collects, processes, and flares landfill gas or methane (CH4). CH4 has 21 times global warming potential. The BERP also generates electricity supplied to the power plant, and soon, to the Luzon electricity grid. All the three projects studied the feasibility of a BERP in their areas. Summaries of the feasibility reports are on the table above.

The groups and their members are as follows:

Group 1: Clean Development Mechanism: Biogas Emission Reduction Project in Rosales, Pangasinan Dumpsite

Members: Sigrid Avenido, Ron Arjay Beringuela, Jazelle Anne Lim, Eveanne Seneca Nadal, Mark Gil Taguba, and Imman Van Valerio

Group 2: Clean Development Mechanism: Metro Clark Landfill Gas Capture System and Electricity Generation in Barangay Cutcut, Capas, Tarlac

Members: Hans Pieter Arao, Jennifer Cabanero, Charlene Rose Cadhit, John Gabriel Fernando, and Ronina Tababa

Group 3: Clean Development Mechanism: A Feasibility Study on a Controlled Disposal Facility Biogas Emission Reduction Project in the City of Malabon

Members: Fatima Ayesha Bahjin, Patricia Anne Benoza, Frances Grace Damazo, Raymond Estrella, and Anjelo Montecastro

Group 4: Clean Development Mechanism: Valenzuela Biogas Emission Reduction Project - A Project Feasibility Study

Members: Charmen Balana, Julia Alexandra Chu, Vernon Chua, Julliano Fernando Guiang, Alain Nacor, and Ihna Maries Santos
